Courage, Brother, Do Not Stumble,

Audio Preview

1.
Courage, brother, do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night;
There’s a star to guide the humble
Trust in God and do the right.

2.
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight;
Foot it bravely, strong though weary
Trust in God and do the right.

3.
Perish policy and cunning,
Perish all that fears the light;
Whether losing, whether winning
Trust in God and do the right.

4.
Trust no party, sect, or faction,
Trust no leaders in the fight;
But in every word and action
Trust in God and do the right.

5.
Trust no lovely forms of passion,
Friends may look like angels bright;
Trust no custom, school, or fashion
Trust in God and do the right.

6.
Simple rule, and safest guiding:
Inward peace and inward might;
Star upon our path abiding
Trust in God and do the right.

7.
Some will hate thee, some will love thee,
Some will flatter, some will slight;
Cease from man, and look above thee
Trust in God and do the right.
